Ferocity & A Concerned Parent

Our Tuesday practice started out phenomenal. We did infielders work and my infielders got a lot of reps (to make up for all the work the outfielders got on Sunday). We were racing against the sun set though and we only had about an hour and a half of practice time. We worked on all in fielding and making good throws to first base. Followed up with double play practice, and in all honesty I am very proud of how they turned the double plays the majority of the time.
The second half of practice was cuts again to refresh. The effort they put in to it was piss poor. After about fifteen minutes I was enraged and ready to explode. I was yelling at kids and saying things I shouldn't have said. I cut practice short and had them run for punishment. While they were running I was screaming out reasons why we won't win if we don't do the little things and the other coaches joined me.
After practice a parent came up to me and talked to me about something I had said to her son. The other Head Coach was with me while we were talking and we spoke to her. It wasn't a big deal but it was another situation that was brand new to me. Everything is cleared up but it certainly caught me off guard.
